Helsinki Airport is a busy transport hub, with a network of flights connecting Finland with cities across Europe, Asia, and beyond. Managing access in such a dynamic environment is a challenge. This challenge extends to the control of access to cupboards, drawers, and cabinets where travel documents are stored — in the spotlight after new EU guidance on logging access to these documents.
Previously, security for cabinets in Helsinki’s check-in area required airport managers to issue and track around 100 mechanical keys per airline. It took time and was a distraction from other important tasks. Airport operator Finavia sought a more convenient way to manage and monitor cabinet access, replacing mechanical locking with a streamlined electronic solution.
